London, 1889. Sarah Bain, Hugh Staunton and Mick O’Reilly operate a private detective agency while keeping secret their role in resolving the Ripper case. Banker Sir Gerald Mariner hires them to recover his missing infant after a photograph taken during an unrelated surveillance job reveals a possible clue.
Inside the Mariner mansion, Sarah finds an image resembling Victorian post-mortem portraiture and begins to question whether the kidnapping conceals a death within the family. The case intersects with her search for the father who disappeared after being accused of murder twenty-three years earlier, placing her investigation and her relationship with Police Constable Barrett on opposite sides of the law.
